Jan English-Lueck received her doctorate from the University of California, Santa
Barbara, studying social change and community among alternative health practitioners
. This research resulted in the book, Health in the New Age: A Study in California Holistic Practices. She went on to investigate visions of the future among science and technology workers
in the People's Republic and Hong Kong, resulting in the book Chinese Intellectuals on the World Frontier.

Since 1991 she has been working with Chuck Darrah at San Jose State developing the
Silicon Valley Cultures Project (SVCP). In the course of this research, she has investigated
information technologies in the homespace and workplace, and the complex dance of
work, home and community life in Silicon Valley and other global technopols. Her new
book, Cultures@SiliconValley is now available. She is a research affiliate of the Institute for the Future. For
